Monitoring Sybase Replication Server?

[sebastien-prudhomme]

Hi,

I've made an uggly patch to monitor our Sybase Replication Server. Is it possible to include it in official version?

The main patch is:

  } elsif ($params{mode} =~ /^server::replication::status/) {
      my @health = $self->{handle}->fetchrow_array(q{
        ADMIN HEALTH
      });
      my $status = $health[2];
      if (! defined $status) {
        $self->add_nagios_unknown("unable to get replication info");
      } else {
        if ($status eq "HEALTHY") {
          $self->add_nagios_ok(sprintf "replication status: %s, all threads are executing as expected", $status);
        } elsif ($status eq "SUSPECT") {
          $self->add_nagios_critical(sprintf "replication status: %s, not all threads are executing as expected", $status);
        } else {
          $self->add_nagios_unknown(sprintf "replication status: %s", $status);
        }
      }

See there for the command: http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.rs_15.0.refman/html/refman/X15699.htm

The ugly patch part is to disable product detection just after the dbconnect (Sybase Replication Server is not a SQL database, so no SELECT statements).
